  2. Entrance pupil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrance_pupil

    The entrance pupil is the image of the aperture stop viewed from the front of the optical system and here it is a virtual image. Chief rays and marginal rays determine the location and the size of the entrance pupil, respectively. A camera lens adjusted for large and small aperture. The visible opening is the entrance pupil of the lens.

  3. Exit pupil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exit_pupil

    The exit pupil is an image of the aperture made by the optics following it; divergent rays from each point in the aperture plane come together again in the exit pupil. To use an optical instrument, the entrance pupil of the viewer's eye (the image of the anatomical pupil as seen through the cornea ) must be aligned with and be of similar size ...

  4. Pupil function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pupil_function

    The pupil function or aperture function describes how a light wave is affected upon transmission through an optical imaging system such as a camera, microscope, or the human eye. More specifically, it is a complex function of the position in the pupil [ 1 ] or aperture (often an iris ) that indicates the relative change in amplitude and phase ...

  5. Astigmatism (optical systems) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astigmatism_(optical_systems)

    The image at the tangent focus is a short line, oriented in the direction of the sagittal plane; images of circles centered on the optic axis, or small lines tangential to such circles, will be sharp in this focal plane. The image at the sagittal focus is a short line, oriented in the direction of the tangential plane; images of spokes ...

  6. Accommodation reflex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodation_reflex

    Light from a single point of a distant object and light from a single point of a near object being brought to a focus. The accommodation reflex (or accommodation-convergence reflex) is a reflex action of the eye, in response to focusing on a near object, then looking at a distant object (and vice versa), comprising coordinated changes in vergence, lens shape (accommodation) and pupil size.

  7. Telecentric lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecentric_lens

    An image-space telecentric lens has the exit pupil (the image of the aperture stop formed by optics after it) at infinity and produces images of the same size regardless of the distance between the lens and the film or image sensor. This allows the lens to focus light from an object or sample to different distances without changing the size of ...

  8. Pupil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pupil

    The image of the pupil as seen from outside the eye is the entrance pupil, which does not exactly correspond to the location and size of the physical pupil because it is magnified by the cornea. On the inner edge lies a prominent structure, the collarette , marking the junction of the embryonic pupillary membrane covering the embryonic pupil.

  9. Optical aberration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_aberration

    Of this point O in an object plane I, at right angles to the axis, and two other coordinates (x, y), the point in which the ray intersects the entrance pupil, i.e. the plane II. Similarly the corresponding image ray may be defined by the points (ξ', η'), and (x', y'), in the planes I' and II'.
